4.1K

The classic Sunday Brunch is filled with delicious pastries, decedent casseroles, fresh fruit, and your favourite crusty bread! Brunch is often filled with joy but also comes with a hefty bill of calories. Today we’re taking 20 healthy brunch ideas for you to try this Sunday with friends or family!

 
When it comes to brunch, there are a few things you need to have. I’ve found healthy alternatives to calorie-heavy pastries like light fruit tarts and break sundaes made with greek yogurt. I’ve found vegan alternatives to classics like French Toast so that everyone can enjoy a brunch classic! Lastly, I’ve got the perfect egg additions like naan pizza topped with runny eggs, or easy-to-make egg, ham & cheese egg cups everyone at the table will love!
